Fact: operatingsystemmajrelease
Purpose: Returns the major release of the operating system.
Resolution:
Uses the release['major'] entry of the os structured fact, which itself attempts to use its own release['full'] entry to determine the major release value. In RedHat osfamily derivatives and Debian, splits down the release string for a decimal point and uses the first non-decimal character. In Solaris, uses the first non-decimal character of the release string. In Ubuntu, uses the characters before and after the first decimal point, as in '14.04'. In Windows, uses the full release string in the case of server releases, such as '2012 R2', and uses the first non-decimal character in the cases of releases such as '8.1'. This should be the same as lsbmajdistrelease, but on minimal systems there are too many dependencies to use LSB
